All this to get to another play-in. Just fail all around. Team has been so inconsistent at times. They look like a championship contender in some games then don't show up in the next game. That is all on coaching, losing all those close games and not showing up in many games.

Yep. This game shouldn't have mattered in reality. The last few shouldn't have mattered, at least relative to securing a 1-6 playoff seed.

So it's obvious the team doesn't like its bigs rotation. So why not take Trayce Jackson-Davis when you had multiple opportunities? All this draft capital to just waste and not use on players you really need. Some of this play-in fail falls on Griff and Langdon.

I 100% agree with this. 60/40 on them.

There was so many ways to improve our bigs.

I don't understand why they didn't get back in that 2022 draft and get a Jalen Duren to develop when you knew Jaxon wasn't the answer. Jonas got exposed in the playoffs by Ayton.

I have to admit... I hate posting these after losses, when I am trying to forget about it.

I have to give it to this franchise, they keep finding new and impressive ways to disappoint the city when they are on the biggest stage.

This is like reading the obituary of a good close friend

And what's the future for Willie Green ? we can't have this coach back ,we haven't made any progress ,he's a nice dude but not sure we can win anything with him as the head coach
It's just so disappointing every season

Seriously hoping they let him walk. Dude is not ready for the big time.

If Willie is let go, does D'Antoni step in as a replacement?

Borrego is a serious option, but I think they want go into the direction of a highly accredited assistant if they move on from Willie. Cheaper and more control over them while typically are better hires on paper than retread that flame out.

 

[Infoman]

My hope is by next year Borrego takes over for Wille... and Kubiak takes over for Allen..... That's probably the best we can hope for given both ownership / GM situations.

I don't think you'll get much while whole sweep organizational change till Miss Benson passes away. I don't think coaches will be fired. They don't like to pay coaches to be on vacation.
